Salted Egg Yolk Prawns (牛油黃金虾)

Seasoning for prawns

• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• Coating for prawns
• 2 egg yolks, beaten
• 6 tablespoons corn flour

Instructions

1. Steam the salted egg yolks for about 20 minutes. Once steamed, mash the yolks with a fork and set this aside.
2. Peel and devein the prawns. Pat them with some paper towels to remove excess moisture. You do not need to be too obsessive about this – just remove most of the liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
3. Season the prawns with salt and white pepper.
4. Dip the prawns in the beaten egg yolk then lightly dredge them in cornflour.
5. Shake off excess flour and fry the prawns for about 20 seconds. I fried the prawns in batches so as not to over cook them. Place the prawns on kitchen towels to drain. Set this aside.
6. In a skillet, saute mince garlic in a little vegetable oil and butter for 30 seconds.
